Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Hey @Former-Member@Appleblossom I bought 1 parrot-finch - he's now in one aviary with my canaries & Bengalese finches.

They will often only sell pairs of many types of finches (& Cockatiels).

I had to buy a pair (2) Cockatiels (Weeros) a few days ago, they wouldn't sell me one to female (to replace mine that died).

Because there are usually many more males than females (available).

On this occasion, they had about 20 male Red-Faced Parrot-Finches, & no females at all...

I can hear new Red-Faced P.F trilling away outside (from inside the house).

I love the sound of that trill, & can tell it straight away - even amongt the canaries, Bengalese, & Goldfinches singing...

They're very active birds (never sit still), & fast flyers.

I've been keeping them (on & off), for the past 25 years.

My all-time favourite finch...

Adge

love to hear all your birds @Adge

Glad you lashed out and treated yourself. @Adge Glad they bent their rule about pairs.

A flatmate from way back had a parrot, a single. He kept it in his bedroom albeit a little unhygeinically. I left before it got too bad .... I tried to do the big sister on the lease ... we need to keep place clean ... I moved to bedsit closer to uni instead of riding bicycle across town. It was a fabulous flat tho. WIsh I could buy into the block ....now.

Hey @Shaz51 @Former-Member @outlander @Faith-and-Hope

We saw a flock of corellas feeding by the road today.

It's what cheers me in the morning @Shaz51

There's not wild birds that sing around here, except maybe Magpies (they can sound lovely).

So I imported my own birdsong into my backyard & house...

Hi everyone ..... 👋☕️💕

i love seeing the wild birds feeding @Appleblossom we often have galas and an assortment of birds nearby in the playing field eating

Corellas are lovely @Appleblossom I sometimes see a flock of them.

More often I see Galahs, pink & greys, they call them here.

Yes, unhygienic is not good.

I could do with a big sister to keep my cleanliness (house) in line - it's hard being on one's own, with a house & block to maintain.

I'm the Big (old) brother, the oldest of 5 boys...

Glad you said that Magpies can sing. @Adge Some just can them for diving on people.

Hope you are all have a good night. I feel at least like I've had some human warmth. Thanks. @Faith-and-Hope @Adge @Shaz51 @outlander

Am also a bit upset about the Margaret River tragedy.

Thats what people do when there are a few deaths they investigate. Thats all I have tried to do. Quietly and calmly and look for best practice possibilities.

Defensiveness is so common in humans .... in families, socially and the work place.....

They seemed smaller than galahs. @AdgeI just caught them out of the corner of my eye. For once my son was glad I pointed them out. Not really sure of the difference apart from size ...
